+ 1 , just another philosophical article trys to change the world

never used an ipod, ipad or itunes in my life.

i'm more curious about the devices that china, korea and japan develops...

if the author needs an ipad to realize that he should spend more quality time with his daughter, he should not be having any kids.

he didn't mention about his wife did he? maybe she left because he is too much of a pussy in letting other things dictate his life.

start smoking weeed

Agreed. It is annoying to talk to someone while they are playing with their cell phone.

LOL! :thumbsup:

watching TV consumes all my time, I can't resist and just simply switch it off due to my lack of self-discipline, I am returning the 52" Sony Bravia tomorrow.

i haven't had awkward moments in so long because anytime it arises, people just look down at their phones...

Hmm... interesting.

+1.

I love technology and the conveniences that come with it. But it's a plainly stupid article.

It's better to have convenience and have option of when to apply it, rather than never having the option of not having convenience at all.

Yet why are ppl still thanking the post?

so he's complaining about being efficiency and productivity? okay cool.
take the time you shower and brush your teeth to gather your thoughts...

god bless technlogy.. as a student i hate waiting 20 minutes waiting for a bus..thanks to cell phone & mp3 player to pass the time.

The guy is a Grade A idiot.

Technology endorsing convenience is not the problem. It's his self control that is. It's like WoW. If he's spending 2 more hours watching a TV show, the problem is not that he's engrossed with his Ipad, it's that he's engrossed in the TV show.

Having an Ipad in bed is no different than people who have a TV in their bedroom.

steve jobs is the hitler of the 21st century ;)

Apple is a multinational company I guarantee people from Korea, Japan, and China had something to do with the Ipad.

I can say the same about my cock yet you don't see me cutting it off. There's a time and place for either of them to be out, and when you're playing with your daughter it clearly isn't the right time.

As a student you'd be better off reading your textbooks and studying - thus why you missed the point of the article.

Studying while commuting? That's being overzealous don't you think?


Besides, the writer of the article just traded one past-time for another. He likes boredom, or time with his kids, other people like to watch TV, surf the net, or play games.

All I got from his article is that the Ipad wasn't for him because it did not cater to his values. Maybe he couldn't find an app for boredom.

Many people have no self control - or better yet - many people have no drive to do better in life.

Our generation is the couch potato generation. We'd rather watch TV, play videos games, and surf the web than get outside and enjoy life. We don't need yet another excuse to become a slave to technology and not think for ourselves.

Having an iPad is very different than a TV in the bedroom. You have a TV everywhere now. Sure TV is the problem, not the iPad, yet the iPad facilitates the problem.

There are lots of books that subscribe to changing your environment to change yourself. If watching TV is the problem, yet telling yourself not to watch it isn't going to help. Removing the ability to watch it will, which is exactly what the author did.

Not any more so than the TV.

Looks to me like the writer is trying to stir acclaim by riding the anti-apple bandwagon.

If you're happy being average. I am overzealous, graduated in the top of my class for a reason. This is why I identify with articles like this - I wasted very little time on TV, games, ... in university cause I had to make the best use of my free time when I wasn't playing sports or partying with my fraternity brothers. Princess Di died my first year of university and I didn't know for 3 months! :D

Or you're such an Apple fanboy you missed the point.

It is absolutely more than the TV. I cannot take my TV with me everywhere as he describes in the article. :p If I could... well I don't think the people on the bus would appreciate my 42" plasma playing COD MW2. :D

its called self control idiot

i hate artsy fgts

In all seriousness, far from it.

Whether it be a TV, or a book which you suggest everyone reads instead, are all just various forms of media, just like the Ipad. Books like the Ipad, is something people can take everywhere; in the bus, in the bed, in the toilet.

What's the difference between an Ipad that keeps you up 2hrs later with the TV shows you can't stop watching, and book that keeps you up 2hrs later because you can't stop reading?

The problem is still not the Ipad. It's the idiot of a writer that out of all things to complain about, it's his lack of boredom. This is nothing but another self-serving article that does nothing to enlight, but instead try to look good.

Develop? You mean try to copy....
